The Leguminosae: A Source Book of Characteristics, Uses and Nodulation
O. N. Allen,Ethel Kullmann Allen +1 more
TL;DR: This encyclopedic global survey of leguminous root nodulation, the result of 45 years of research by O. N. Allen and Ethel K. Allen, is the only one of its kind, a massive effort incorporating all of the 750 known genera of" Leguminosae," which, in turn, include nearly 20,000 species as discussed by the authors.
